Sounds like I'm stuck with your solution #1 -- don't use the offending
characters in file/directory names. I can probably live with that as I
have tried to make sure that no files/directories have embedded spaces
either.
Have you tried investigating different mount options? Read
'man smbmount', and take a look at the 'iocharset' and 'codepage' options.
I'd hope that you'd be able to use some combination of these to set up
an appropriate translation between the server and the client, though I
haven't experimented with this, but it might look something like
mount -t smbfs -o iocharset=iso8859-1,codepage=cp437 //srv/shr /mnt/pnt
Thanks, Paul. I didn't know the character set option existed. I am
going to try.
